研究概要

鉴于相当一部分(40%)患者表现为 PD-L1 CPS 1,同时保留 HLA-I 类表达且 TIL 水平高,PD-1/PD-L1 通路是食管小细胞癌的潜在治疗靶点。

中文摘要

食管小细胞癌是一种罕见且高度侵袭性的食管癌亚型,预后极差。为探索免疫疗法的潜在应用,我们调查了食管小细胞癌中程序性死亡配体 1(PD-L1)、人白细胞抗原(HLA)I 类表达状态及TIL(肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞)程度。 方法与结果:评估 10 例纯小细胞癌和 5 例混合性神经内分泌-非神经内分泌肿瘤(MiNEN)的 PD-L1 和 HLA-I 类表达。采用综合阳性评分(CPS)和肿瘤比例评分(TPS)评估 PD-L1,并对错配修复(MMR)蛋白进行免疫组化。PD-L1 免疫组化显示,9 例(60%)CPS≥1,5 例(33%)CPS≥10,5 例(33%)TPS≥1。CPS≥1 患者总生存期显著长于 CPS<1 患者。5 例(33%)存在 HLA-I 类缺失(>50% 肿瘤细胞),与 PD-L1 表达状态无显著相关。5 例 MiNEN 中,3 例的小细胞癌成分 HLA-I 类表达降低。HLA-I 类缺失与更高 TNM 分期和较低 TIL 水平显著相关。未观察到 MMR 缺陷。

相当一部分病例(40%)存在 PD-L1 CPS≥1,同时 HLA-I 类表达保留且 TIL 水平高,提示 PD-1/PD-L1 通路可能是食管小细胞癌的治疗靶点。

AIMS: Oesophageal small-cell carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive subtype of oesophageal cancer with a dismal prognosis. To explore the potential applicability of immunotherapy, we investigated the expression status of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-class I and the degree of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in oesophageal small-cell carcinoma. METHODS AND RESULTS: PD-L1 and HLA-class I expression levels were evaluated in 10 pure small-cell carcinomas and five mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs). The combined positive score (CPS) and tumour proportion score (TPS) were used for PD-L1 assessment. Immunohistochemistry for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins was also performed. PD-L1 immunohistochemistry demonstrated CPS 1 in nine (60%), CPS 10 in five (33%), and TPS 1 in five (33%) cases. Overall survival was significantly longer in patients with CPS 1 than in those with CPS <1. HLA-class I deficiency (>50% tumour cells) was noted in five cases (33%), with no significant correlation with PD-L1 expression status. Among the five MiNENs, HLA-class I expression was decreased in the small-cell carcinoma component of three cases. HLA-class I deficiency was significantly associated with higher TNM stage and reduced TIL levels. MMR deficiency was not observed in any case. CONCLUSION: Given that a significant subset (40%) exhibited PD-L1 CPS 1 with preserved HLA-class I expression and high levels of TIL, the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway is a potential therapeutic target for oesophageal small-cell carcinoma.
